Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi Stan, I just wanted to post an update on my 30 month old son . He is on day 13 of Valtrex. (He takes MB12 shots every three days) During the first few days we saw a noticeable increase in speech and eye contact. During the end of week one we saw him become more sound sensitive with increased sensory integration issues and climbing, spinning etc.He started making more sounds and babbling and has started saying at least a new word each day. He has had the fine rash that has moved down his body. The rash has seemed to have cleared up on his upper chest, but now blotches have appeared on his legs and lower torso. Yesterday he started with the diarrhea and some fecal play. He has been interacting with his brother (who is also affected by autism but is higher functioning) and they spent the day chasing eachother through the house laughing and playing. He imitated Logan's language by copying his sounds several times today. His eye contact is amazing. He was even testing me by taking the phone(which he is not supposed to play with), dialing it and running with like a football down the hall laughing! Unbelievable! I am so excited. My house was once so silent. It is now loud and I love it!!!! has not had a high fever or any illness (other than a slight runny nose and teary eyes)with this yet. It seems like is having a similar response to other Valtrex responders and I was curious what may come next. I am so thankful that you shared with us at the Long Beach DAN! conference. I had never heard of Valtrex therapy prior to that conference. You have helped our family so much. I'll give you another update next week.- Hopefully with more of the same news.
